Queen Street part 1

I have started my new vignette. A vignette is smaller than a diorama, with the focus on the main subject. I my case this will be a mechanical horse for my story telling and a Morris Oxford III for the finished vignette.

I’m going to try out some a new weathering approach for my diecast models. But more about that in a later blog entry.

 

For my vignette a used one of the buildings from the High Street shop fronts from Scalescenes. As usual I started with the road and the footway. This vignette is a try out to get the proper size using the golden rule. One thing I didn’t realize is that for situating the road vehicle the size of the road and the footway is defining the size. The building can be placed outside the vignette as the edge of the micro layout.

In the picture an overview of the vignette. The vignette measures 21,5 x 10 cm for the road and the footway.
The road surface is from Scalescenes, the footway from Model Railway Scenery. The colour of the footway of Scalescenes didn’t fit in my colour scheme.
The colours of the inside of the building won’t be visible when the building is finished.

 

The frame of the building is not yet finished completely. On the left side of the building I have to create a part of a yard or garden wall, maybe with a gate.

 

Any suggestion or comments are welcome.

 

Regards,

 

Job

Hi Job, just back from holiday and going through the blogs. I see you are adding to the terminology with the concept of a vignette. I think it makes a lot of sense. The more we can divide modelling into small manageable bits, the greater the chance of succeeding I think. 

 

I'm not sure I understand how the road and the building are connected though? Will they be built as one vignette or are they separate parts that can be used together?

Mikkel, I hope you have enjoyed your holiday.

You have probably missed the previous entry where I have said I sold my trains and bought a "large" amount of road vehicles. My wife thought I toke the right decision. 

Before I bought them I did a lot of research to find the right models.

 

The mechanical horse will be used in most of my diorama's or vignette's for photographic purposes. I think this road van has also another advantage. But more about that in a later entry.

The car will be the subject I want to use for my scene,

In a vignette the mean subject can be some persons, a car or even a poster. A vignette for my is a independent scene, in which I want to try to model something special. 

My next entry I hope will make this clear.

Hi Job, ah yes I had missed out your earlier entry. I also have one of the mechnical horses, a very attractive vehicle I think. I look forward to seeing who the driver will be - if there is going to be one.
